1) When I click with the mouse on a menu, e. g. View then the View menu opens.
Fine. Now if I move the mouse right to the Navigate menu while the mouse button
is still pressed I would expect that the Naviage menu opens and the View menu
closes. But that doesn't happen. Why?
2) In the File-Save As Dialog: When I set the cursor in the middle of the
filename and press the "Entf"-Key (I think it's called "Del" on english keyboard
layouts) the character on the left side of the cursor is deleted instead of the
right side
3) Same Dialog as in 2): If I press shift and cursor left/right I would expect to
select the character. Instead the cursor jumps to the begin/end of the filename
